Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a conveyor belt intended to be used with articles which are subjected to a variety of operations along the conveyor belt.
  • a novel feature of the conveyor belt of the present invention resides in the fact that the active surface of the belt upon which the articles being transported rest is provided with projections which are inclined in opposite directions, and which are located in a variety of manners according to the particular requirements. In this manner the position of the articles being conveyed along the belt remains perfectly stable, even following eventual lateral thrusts which may be exerted on the article due to the operations being carried out. In this manner it is possible to foresee with a great degree of accuracy the moment in which each article is located in a position corresponding to particular stages of the operation, based only on the speed of the conveyor.
  • the present invention thus eliminates the necessity of using suitable optical or mechanical devices which have been used to determine the position of the same articles on the conveyor.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a novel type of a conveyor belt, the surface of which being used to rest the articles is so shaped as to permit absolute stability of the articles being conveyed on the belt independently from the weight of the articles, and independently from the nature of the material of which the article is made.
  • a novel feature of the present invention is that the conveyor has projections on its surface, the projections having a triangular cross-section.
  • the projections are alternately arranged in opposite direction, and they may be grouped in a variety of manners so as to guarantee a perfect stability of the article being conveyed, even when the article is subjected to tangential forces in one or in the other direction, which forces may be substantial.
  • the choice of the suitable material is very important in order to achieve the desired surface layer of the belt, and in particular, the mechanical properties of elasticity and deformability which must be determined accurately on the basis of the particular requirements of the operations on the articles being conveyed, as well as the shape of the articles which may provide a base of support.
  • FIG. 1 is a side view in vertical cross-section of a conveyor with triangular projections alternated successively in the opposite direction;
  • FIG. 2 illustrates another embodiment with projections side by side inclined alternately in the opposite direction
  • FIG. 3 is a top view of the embodiment of FIG. 2;
  • FIG. 4 is a top view of another possible arrangement of the projections of FIG. 3.
  • the conveyor belt is provided with projections 2 and 3 with right-angle triangular cross-section, oriented alternately in the opposite direction so that the object being conveyed 4 which rests on the vertices of the same projections deforms slightly the projections and creates a resting surface which prevents the article 4 from sliding with respect to the conveyor belt no matter whether the article is under the action of forces in the direction F 1 or forces in the opposite direction F 2 .
  • the projections having a triangular cross-section 5 and 6 are arranged side by side and inclined in the opposite direction.
  • the projections 7 and 8 are arranged in groups inclined in the opposite direction.
  • the conveyor belt of the present invention may be used for a variety of applications. For instance, it may be used in connection with honing machines, used continuously in the field of marble, granite and hard stone in which the slab which has a small thickness and therefore has reduced weight, during the polishing phase, is subjected to substantial alternate tangential forces due to the action of the smoothing mandrels which have alternating transversal motion with respect to the advance of the slab.
  • honing machines used continuously in the field of marble, granite and hard stone in which the slab which has a small thickness and therefore has reduced weight, during the polishing phase, is subjected to substantial alternate tangential forces due to the action of the smoothing mandrels which have alternating transversal motion with respect to the advance of the slab.
  • honing machines used continuously in the field of marble, granite and hard stone in which the slab which has a small thickness and therefore has reduced weight, during the polishing phase, is subjected to substantial alternate tangential forces due to the action of the smoothing mandrels which have
  • the control of the position of the slab is carried out by determining the path of the conveyor with a simple mechanical reader assuming that the slab being worked on is rigidly connected to the conveyor.
